Angels

Walk this world alone, try to stay on my feet.
Sometimes crawl, fall, but I stand up cause I'm afraid to sleep.
Open my eyes to a new day, with all new problems and all new pain.
All the faces are filled with so much anger.
Losing our dignity and hope from fear of danger.
After all the wars, after settling the scores,
at the break of dawn we will be deaf to the answers.

There's so much bigotry, misunderstanding and fear
With eyes squinted and fists clinched we reach out for what is dear.
We want it we want.
We want a reason to live.
We're on a pilgrimage.
A crusade for hope.
Cause in our hearts and minds and souls we know.
We need it we need.
We need more than this.

Going through this life, looking for angels.
People passing by, looking for angels.
Walking down the streets, looking for angels.
Everyone I meet, looking for angels.

So many nations with so many hungry people.
So many homeless searching around for dirty needles.
On the rise, teen suicide, when we will realize.
We've been desensitized by the lies of the world.
We're oppressed and impressed by the greedy.
Whose hands squeeze the life out of the needy.
When will we learn that wars, threats,
and regrets are the cause and effect of living in fear.

Who can help protect the innocence of our children.
Stolen on the internet with images they can't forget.
We want it we want.
We want a reason to live.
We represent a generation that wants to turn back a nation.
To let love be our light and salvation.
We need it we need.
We need more than this.

What will you do to make a difference, to make a change?
What will you do to help someone along the way?
Just a touch, a smile as you turn the other cheek.
Pray for your enemies; humble yourself, love's staring back at me.
In the midst of the most painful faces.
Angels show up in the strangest of places.
